READ: Luke 10:38-42
One thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part. Luke 10:42
The mayor of a small town in Kentucky stopped mowing his lawn in 2005. He has put up a sign on his property that reads: There are more important things in life than tall grass.
He said that he has several reasons for not cutting the grass, one of which is his wifes death from cancer. That loss caused him to reflect on the priorities of life. He enjoys just sitting in the evenings and observing the wild flowers, squirrels, and birds that are now coming to his yard. A member of the city council remarked, If he likes it like that, its fine. I kind of feel like maybe he is right. Maybe there are more important things than mowing grass.
The mayor gives us some food for thought about priorities. What we do with our time shows what we feel is important. In our Bible reading for today, Martha was distracted with much serving (Luke 10:40). Mary, however, took the time to sit at Jesus feet and listen to His teaching (v.39). Perhaps she realized that she wouldnt have many more opportunities to learn from Jesus.
Sometimes responsibilities like washing dishes, mowing the lawn, or working extra hours on a project need to wait so that we can spend time with the Lord or family or friends. That may be whats more important.
